“Solved spam” would mean there are clear, enforced policy limits that prevent arbitrary data injection into the chain. But the entire 2023–2025 sequence proves the opposite: limits were narrowed, a known bypass was kept open, then its existence was used to justify removing remaining constraints. That’s not “solved,” that’s redefined.
If the goal was to preserve Bitcoin’s efficiency and neutrality, you wouldn’t quietly rewrite config scope, reject the patch that closes the loophole, then claim removing limits is harm reduction. That’s policy drift dressed as pragmatism.

Spam is completely solved on a technical level. Full blocks, be they spammy or not, won’t kill bitcoin.
That said, there is human utility in reserving block space for legit transactions.
Maybe @Luke Dashjr would consider a BIP targeting partitioning of the block space into standard and nonstandard subblocks…keeping transactions cheap has value to network growth.
